Glad I’m saving it for next year. Might be good that it’s empty mind and ironically in the current times, not much queuing!
Love all the extra bits like the character dining, shows, fireworks and special treatment, that’s was takes it to the next level for the kids.

the 2 i watched today got all the rides ( apart from tomorrowland peoplemover that was down due to tech issues ) done inside 4 hours

the longest line was 7 dwarfs mine train at 40 mins ( which would have normally been 2 hours plus )

got to agree with you about the extra's, it what makes disney special , take away that and it just becomes a theme park, it was funny today seeing the ugly step sisters singing from cinderella's castle balcony ( a rare sight indeed ) so they are trying something slightly different

Ive just booked a room for next year ( well for part of it ) holding out to see what the disney cruises are doing, big holiday next year, my 50th and WDW's 50th, so might aswell go for it big time

Though seeing the vlog today, i am pushing for Oct for a cheeky week ( or 10 days ) it looked just as safe as a trip to the garden centre
my mrs asked me would i have gone today, i said if we lived within a 5 hour drive i would have, it looked as safe as they were going to get it

Does the queueing not ruin it a bit though? It's never been somewhere that's appealed to me at all tbh but my partner really wants to go so I had a proper look and I can see how it would be fun, especially with the new Star Wars bit. But the thought of queueing for over an hour, doing a ride, then another 2hr queue makes me want to scream. Or am I missing some Disney cleverness?

They do fast pass's which let you get on the ride quicker ( normally under 20 mins ) , you get 3 per day, so use them well on the bigger rides and you have the main 3 done without massive waits

we have a max wait time of 60 mins for a big main attraction ride and 45 mins for anything else, if its above that, we miss it

with clever use of fast pass's and getting to the parks at opening its very easy to get the rides done without silly wait times, we can do MK in 1 day this way

the newest ride ( in Batuu, the new star wars bit ) has a virtual line, so you get in the park, get on the app and book a ride slot, this means no more than a 45 min wait, the wait line for rise of the resistance is interactive anyway, so maybe this shows the way WDW are heading, of course WDW are experts in milking that last dollar, so many think the virtual line is coming to most rides, 3 free and maybe pay for the rest, more money for WDW

Of course all of this was before Covid19 ( they are not doing FP's during these times as the wait times should be low due to park entry )

Fast passes are a must. When we did avatar 18 months ago the queues were 3 to 4 hours long, took us 10/15 mins which was about the longest we had. Did a few of them more than once, like the mine train as you can renew your fast passes during the day.

indeed, Avatar flight of passage is a must, 4 hour plus lines are the norm
its a great ride, very well done and very technical, though Rise of the resistance is by all accounts pushing it to the next level i had even booked savi's lightsaber workshop and the Droid building experiences ( i needed to book them in the first few minutes at 180 days out ) , my youngest who is a star wars nut, saved up for the past 2 years, the lightsaber is $200 and $100 for the droid, she is gutted we are not going

Think Avatar is still my favourite ride, just incredible how they make you feel like you are flying through Pandora.

Loads of the rides sound great but to someone who was raised 45 mins from Oakwood, even the fast times sound mental

The 22 million people of Florida recorded a one day record of over 15k new cases today, more than the 750 million people of Europe and the bits of Russia in Asia combined.

Surely even the dumbest of Americans must realise there's a problem.
